Degree in theoretical physics abroad

Physics is constantly developing and it is the task of the theoretical physicist to use and improve existing theories and models, find new ones to describe recently discovered phenomena, or shed new light on old problems. This MSc program offers you advanced knowledge in theoretical physics in a strong research environment.

During the four semesters of their studies, students will have hands-on instruction in parallel computing methods for scientific applications, computational optimisation approaches and artificial intelligence as compulsory courses. In addition, they can choose from a range of theoretical physics and astrophysics courses, which include mathematical modelling, non-local mathematical physics, physical kinetics, spectrometry, data mining, star atmospheres, advanced statistical physics, response theory, cosmology, quantum theory of atoms and molecules, quantum information, low-temperature physics, quantum thermodynamics and the physics of galaxies. For, every semester students join research groups for practice and to gain experience in research.

The Theoretical Physics track introduces the student to the intriguing diversity of physical theories and gives means to understand the world.

The two-year Master’s Studies in Theoretical Physics provide high-level training in areas such as Classical and Quantum Gravity, Modern Astrophysics, QCD, High Energy Physics, Quark-Gluon Plasma, Neutrino Physics, Quantum Mechanics, and Machine Learning in Physics. Closely tied to research at the Institute of Theoretical Physics, students can join active research groups and participate in special projects.

Our four-year MPhys Theoretical Physics degree is ideally suited to students wanting to become professional physicists. You will learn how fundamental physics and mathematical techniques are applied to understand advances in quantum information, machine learning, cosmology, semiconductors, lasers, nuclear & particle physics.

This course is intended introduce graduates in theoretical physics, mathematics, and related disciplines to current ideas and methods at the forefront of modern theoretical physics and mathematics research.

Master in Theoretical and Computational Physics

Explore, understand, and model physical reality using the most advanced mathematical, computational, experimental and observational techniques available. The Master of Physics thoroughly equips students with insight into the current status of physics research. Our physicists go on to rewrite our understanding of not only the natural world but also its interaction with society and industry.

Master in Physics gives you the opportunity to work within a large variety of applied physics.

The Master's Degree in Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling is a European Master verified by the Ministry of Education in Spain and which has received the distinction of Euro-label from the ECTNA (European Chemistry Thematic Network Association) and Erasmus Mundus from the European Union. A consortium of 46 European Universities participates in its organization, 14 of them from Spain. Participant universities come from the following countries: Belgium, Spain, France, Holland, Italy, Poland, Portugal, and Sweden. One of the intrinsic characteristics of the Master is to promote collaboration between the participating research groups and in particular, the mobility of students. The Master provides applicants high quality training in the field of Computational Chemistry, highly demanded and with high impact. Theoretical simulations are nowadays needed in all branches of Chemistry and Molecular Physics. Their range of applications include the design of new drugs in the Pharmaceutical Industry, new materials and nanodevices in Applied Physics or the prediction of the properties and reactivity of the new chemical compounds needed in the Chemical Industry. This master provides students with the fundamentals of Quantum Chemistry, which is at the core of most accurate techniques in Theoretical Chemistry, but also provides with the necessary skills to use and modify the most advanced software codes used to perform simulations of real systems. Students will learn to simulate complex systems by combining techniques based on Quantum Mechanics with classical Molecular Dynamics techniques.

Study the entire physical world from the microscopic to the cosmic - topics such as black holes, the Big Bang, quantum computing, elementary particles and the fundamental forces of nature, superconductivity, neural networks, matter in extreme conditions, and simulation of physical and biological systems.

Do you want to understand the inner workings of nature from a theoretical viewpoint? At the Department of Astronomy and Theoretical Physics, together with the Department of Physics in Lund, we offer a broad programme covering a wide range of topics in theoretical and mathematical physics. You can choose to study the smallest constituents of matter and their interactions within theoretical high-energy physics, as well as nuclear and solid-state physics within mathematical physics. In all cases, you will get a solid basis of theoretical knowledge needed to develop new models and to better understand how nature works.
